Walking down the road with not even a dollar.
Just me my radio and my old dog Charlie.

It will soon be time for us to go in.
I can`t wait to tell everyone where we`ve been.

I`ve been to the park and watched the children play.
That was the most fun  of all today.

I went to the candy store and spent my last dime.
But thats ok I`ll get somemore another time.

I`ve walked around the block a time or two.
Even that is fun when you have nothing to do.

Oh,my gosh its getting late.
They`ll throw a fit if I`m not in by eight.

Home at last now what do I do?
I think I`ll take a nap after all I am eightytwo.

Don't beleive her, Noah!!!!
She really IS 82
But she looks so young that everyone thinks she is really only 50,  Juanita is very
spry for her age  
and she is also very well preserved

Great job, Juanita

Very uplifting might I say...
It put me in the mind of my dearly departed Granny whom used to walk with her dog *Freckles*...

Put a smile on my face at the thought of dear Granny and the days that are gone forever, except for in the quiet corners of my heart and mind.

Thank You for this moment!

God Bless
